[@Archmage MC] The picture is literally just Shonen Jump. You're also not particularly agreeing with anyone. You came in wanting to actively make character risk nil (granted PVP is iffy in these games but it absolutely always is by virtue of a lack of resolution mechanics) and started pushing for a gear change into being "over the top like OPM" saying that's what shonen is when there's plenty of works that aren't like that. I've been pushing for a wider range of character variety, and I still feel that the setup allows for it while keeping some coherence within the world rather than let anyone do whatever. The GM is doing a base shonen thing that perfectly lines up with plenty of the genre's major works and it doesn't necessarily have to embrace other aspects of it.
